You will also see Have Gun, Will Travel, Maverick, The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, Lawman, Wanted: Dead or Alive, and The Virginian. Even The Wild Wild West is part of the mix. It is an impressive lineup of more than 30 classic series, many of which shaped television during its golden age.
According to Weigel, episodes will be shown in their full, uncut form whenever possible. That means no shortened syndication edits and no skipping over storylines. For anyone who remembers watching these shows on their original broadcasts, it is a chance to see them as they were meant to be seen.
